There are not many wines which require you to wear a nappy upon tasting, however, I am pleased to say this is one. Mind blowing quality and bowel blowing. Nappies not included.

SOIL: Granitic red clay from one hill in particular. Fractured mineral granite rock
at a depth of one metre. The vineyard is oriented east-west, 20 degrees north.
HARVEST: The grapes were manually harvested between 3 March and 6 April.
VINTAGE: The temperatures were moderate to cool in 2018, which meant that
the grapes ripened slowly and the resulting wines were well-balanced, fresh
and aromatic.
FERMENTATION: The grapes first underwent a cold maceration for around
a week to draw out the colour and aromas. Then they were fermented in
small open tanks at controlled temperatures of between 22ºC and 26ºC.
AGEING: All of this wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels: 25% of
them new Bordeaux barrels, 35% second use and 40% third use.

Residual Sugar: 2.46g/l
AGEING POTENTIAL: This wine can be kept for more than 8 years if
stored correctly.
COLOUR: This wine is deep ruby in colour.
NOSE: The nose opens with the classic red fruit, such as strawberries and
wild raspberries, typical of this noble variety. Notes of vanilla and spices
intermingle subtly with a delicate minerality, making this a delightful and
complex wine.
MOUTH: The mouth reveals intense, fruity avours and tannins which are
ripe, well-rounded and integrated into the elegant structure. Long in the nish.
The French oak frames the expressiveness of this distinctive and elegant wine.
Best served at between 14°C and 15°C. This wine pairs well with oily dish, pasta
dishes, creamed soups and mature cheese.
